In applied probability, a Markov additive process (MAP) is a bivariate Markov process where the future states depends only on one of the variables.[1]
Definition
Finite or countable state space for J(t)
The process \( {\displaystyle \{(X(t),J(t)):t\geq 0\}} \) is a Markov additive process with continuous time parameter t if[1]
\( {\displaystyle \{(X(t),J(t));t\geq 0\}} \) is a Markov process
the conditional distribution of \( {\displaystyle (X(t+s)-X(t),J(t+s))} \) given ( \( {\displaystyle (X(t),J(t))} \) depends only on \( J(t) \).
The state space of the process is R × S where X(t) takes real values and J(t) takes values in some countable set S.
General state space for J(t)
For the case where J(t) takes a more general state space the evolution of X(t) is governed by J(t) in the sense that for any f and g we require[2]
\( {\displaystyle \mathbb {E} [f(X_{t+s}-X_{t})g(J_{t+s})|{\mathcal {F}}_{t}]=\mathbb {E} _{J_{t},0}[f(X_{s})g(J_{s})]}. \)
Example
A fluid queue is a Markov additive process where J(t) is a continuous-time Markov chain .
Applications
Çinlar uses the unique structure of the MAP to prove that, given a gamma process with a shape parameter that is a function of Brownian motion, the resulting lifetime is distributed according to the Weibull distribution.
Kharoufeh presents a compact transform expression for the failure distribution for wear processes of a component degrading according to a Markovian environment inducing state-dependent continuous linear wear by using the properties of a MAP and assuming the wear process to be temporally homogeneous and that the environmental process has a finite state space.
